APAC Silicon Research Program

Program description:

Taiwan is in a unique and strong position for the semiconductor industry around the world. We’ve seen the strong competency of those semiconductor and related manufacturing companies working with academics from the past years, generating world-class research and development outcomes. To support the silicon research ecosystem and the talent development in Taiwan, Google launched the Taiwan Silicon Research Program in 2022.

Google teams, from both Taiwan and the global, worked with academic researchers from the universities in the following areas:

Eventually, through 2 Silicon Research Workshops and the following Call For Proposal process, Google granted 8 research projects in above areas. These research projects were undertaken by various professors from a few universities. The program aligns with Taiwan’s needs in forging world-class research on Silicon, developing talents to meet future demands, as well as supporting the semiconductor industry in the long run.

Eligibility

Google intends to work with full-time researchers from universities or degree-granting institutions by providing opportunities including research grants, conference sponsorship, GCP Credits, etc. The academic researchers must be working on Silicon related research areas.

How to apply for it?

We have extended this program in APAC. In 2023, we granted 13 research projects in total, in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, India and Singapore. Currently, we do not accept the proposal any more. But if you are interested in reaching out to Google for discussions, please reach out to Google Contact below for more information.
